Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #8..

Shinsen Kouwa Palace: 2LDK, 155,000 per month

Deep breath, this could be the one.....

*edit: knocked back again, even after having been told "foreigners okay" for 3 weeks! This isn't fun at all..

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #7..

Shoto Residence: 3DK, 180,000 per month

Applied for this one a couple of times before being "beaten" to the punch (at the 25th hour) by a Japanese applicant. The third knockback because we are not Japanese..

This one had an awesome balcony:

Tokyo Stormtrooper

Danny Choo has an awesome blog on Japan, and can pull some pretty smooth dance moves in a stormtrooper suit as well!

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #6..

Shoto, 2LDK: 190,000 per month

Unusual to find something on the ground floor, this one was filthy but the landlord was gonna totally refurbish it before the new tenants moved in. Interesting little layout, even had a little yard. Too expensive though..
